There were only two people left in the office.

Ronan looked at James Huang curiously, not understanding what this guy was going to do.

Not satisfied with the pay? If you increase the pay, you must negotiate through the agent? $300,000 is the highest price he can offer, or is it because James Huang has participated in the "X-Files" resume.

The real budget of the Human Purge Plan is only $1.8 million, which includes Sand Sea Entertainment and his own expenses.

"What do we need to talk about separately?" Ronan simply turned straight.

It’s impossible that James Huang has any thoughts about this handsome guy, right? If you want to make unspoken rules, it is also the producer who unspoken rules. Where is the turn of other people’s turn to unspoken rules?

Perhaps it was a relationship from the East, but James Huang's answer was a bit in circles.

"Mr. Anderson, I'm very interested in your project," he said. "Horror thriller is actually the type I'm good at. I don't know if you've seen the TV series I directed. The best thing is the rendering of the horror thriller atmosphere."

Ronan nodded slightly: "That's it."

If not, he would not have reached an oral agreement with Edward on the pay first.

When James Huang thought of the book he made with Glenn Morgan, he felt like a cat was crawling in his heart, and he would be disobedient if he didn't try it.

Opportunities are all achieved through fighting for them.

Even if the other party disagrees, it won’t affect the project being discussed too much, right?

He just heard it very clearly that Shahai Entertainment has obtained financial support from the Arabs, and those oil-related people are not ordinary rich.

James Huang thought for a while and said, "That...what I used to be a screenwriter, and I entered the industry with my friend Glenn Morgan. He is also a screenwriter..."

Luo Nan smiled and said, "Huang, we hit it off at first sight. You have to be polite. Just make a statement if you have something to do."

"I wrote a script with Glenn, a horror movie." James Huang opened his briefcase and took out a script. "We both had an idea when we were working on the crew of "X Archives", and then wrote an outline. We only completed the script in the past six months."

He put the script on Ronan's desk: "Can you take time to read it?"

Ronan frowned slightly and roughly guessed the meaning of James Huang.

James Huang saw that Ronan did not move the script and continued: "This is a new type of horror film, unlike traditional American plasma horror films and ghost horror films. Mr. Anderson, I promise, this will be a creepy movie that will surely scare the audience!"

"I want me to invest in your project?" Ronan asked directly.

This is very obvious. There are too many directors in Hollywood looking for investment everywhere, and very few of them can eventually get investment.

"Yes." James Huang stopped going around in circles: "I want to direct this script."

Luo Nan nodded slightly, turned on the script, read a few pages, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Interesting, really interesting.

He looked and asked, "Huang, if I don't invest in your project, are you going to reject the Human Purge Plan?"

"This..." James Huang hesitated for a while, and said: "At least it's not my first choice."

He simply increased his weight: "Dimen Pictures invited me to direct the spoof "Scream" of "Scream" and they refused my request. I did not agree to the invitation from Dimen for the time being. An executive of Xinyi Films thought that my script was creative and wanted to buy out the copyright, but refused to be a director, so Glenn and I turned it off."

Ronan is not stupid at all and can understand the meaning behind this. James Huang is saying that he does not lack director invitations, and the script is paid attention to by the company.

This script...well, how to say it, it's really interesting.

James Huang seems a little paranoid and anxious.

If it were an ordinary new director, he would rarely mention excessive conditions if he had the opportunity to direct a movie.

What about this person? He tied himself to another project.

Ronan remained silent, and a lot of thoughts suddenly turned into his mind, and then quietly observed it. James Huang's mentality was indeed a little anxious.

I guess I've encountered many walls before.

It is actually difficult for directors who do not have any film history to direct the script they write. Not everyone is as lucky as James Cameron meets Anne Hurd.

Moreover, James Cameron had a film director's resume before "Terminator".

James Huang was also observing Ronan. There are companies that want to buy scripts. The new Line Film Company mentioned earlier is not fake. But he is very clear that the company that wants to buy scripts has neither the intention to invite him to be a director nor will it invest in production in the near future. The books he and Glenn Morgan wrote are very likely to enter the huge script library of some film companies like countless scripts, and then it will become a movie after countless years.

This time may be three to ten years, or it may be longer.

In the 1980s, he once had a movie script acquired by Fox, but the movie has not been produced yet.

If I had known this was the result, I would not have sold the copyright at once.

For film companies, the cost of buying out scripts is not worth mentioning at all.

He is already forty and doesn't want to wait for a long time.

Ronan read the first quarter of the script and began to look at it ten lines at once. He was no longer concerned with the script, and he was considering how to use the script to obtain benefits.

There are roughly two parts of interests, short-term interests and long-term interests.

The former is James Huang and the "Human Purge Plan". From a comprehensive perspective, James Huang is very suitable for this position.

The latter is of course the script in his hand.

This is a famous project.

After reading the first few pages of the script, Ronan remembered who James Huang was.

If this guy had a Chinese name, not a James Huang English name, he would have remembered it long ago.

Huang Yiyu.

This name is not unfamiliar to those who do filmmaking.

A director who started out and became famous through horror movies is generally more suitable for "Human Purge Plan".

A 100% match is impossible, but after interviewing so many candidates, Huang Yiyu is the one with the best conditions.

Ronan closed the script, resisted the urge to buy out the copyright, and said lightly: "This is not a traditional American horror movie. There is a saying in Hollywood that should not try something you are unfamiliar with."

"But only appropriate innovation can bring fresh stimulation to the audience." James Huang said: "Plasma tablets require some innovation."

Ronanmosuo put his chin on: "A group of students escaped the air crash because of an emergency and were chased by the god of death one by one. What do you say?" He frowned: "The terrifying core of this movie is somewhat like Eastern culture."

James Huang asked: "Do you understand the culture of the East?"

"I know one thing. When I was studying at the Film Academy of Southern California, I specially studied it for a while." Luo Nan shook the script in his hand, "Well, what does the ancient East say..."

He put on a memory: "Death makes you die at three o'clock, and won't you stay until five o'clock?"

James Huang echoed: "Yes! There is no suspense in this story, because the protagonists are doomed and will surely die. The entertainment value of the story lies in the process of the journey of death rather than the result."

Ronanzhi shook his head: "It's a bit risky to create Hollywood horror movies with the core of the Eastern way."

James Huang Moran, this book looks very creative to him, but there are too many creative scripts in the industry, and most of them are ignored.

What's more, he has greater ambitions and wants to direct this book.

"James, you should be very clear that this film does not meet the consistent aesthetics of North American horror audiences." Ronan is not lying nonsense. The best overall commercial performance of Hollywood horror films is plasma films of torture: "I personally think your script is interesting, but I am a businessman and need to be responsible to investors."

Of course, James Huang knew this, otherwise he would not have encountered any wallows everywhere.

"Oh..." He sighed in his heart.

Should I put down this script for the time being, direct other movies first, and then talk about it later?

Just as James' yellow face was full of disappointment, Ronan said at the right time: "I... can consider investing in your project."

He seemed to have made a great decision: "But I want to convince investors."

James Huang had no hope at first, and his eyes full of hope were staring straight at Ronan.

Ronan frowned: "My funds come from Arabia. Arab oil wealthy people are very rich, but they value money very seriously and are stubborn. If the conditions are not good enough, it will be difficult for them to pay."

"Is there anything I can do?" James Huang asked quickly.

"Your project investment is not possible if it is low." Ronan seemed to have thought about it carefully: "The production investment must be very high, so I have to reduce other expenses, such as copyright buyout fees."

James Huang was silent for a long time, as if he was measuring gains and losses, and finally gritted his teeth: "This is no problem. The lower limit price stipulated by the screenwriter's union is used as the transfer fee, but I must be the director! My director's pay can be the same as what I discussed this time!"

In his eyes, this is nothing. In order to direct "Terminator", James Cameron's script transfer fee was only $1.

Ronan continued to extend his hands to gain profits: "Full copyright buyout."

"Yes." James Huang's goal is to director, and the rest are easy to talk about.

Ronan still looked so embarrassed, but he was very happy. The copyright naturally includes the peripherals and sequels. As long as the first one can be as successful as in the previous life, many movies can be filmed according to this routine later.

"I have very tight funds." He is a businessman, so of course he has to continue to strive for benefits: "Your project will also start preparing for it after the release of the Human Purge Plan."

James Huang nodded: "Yes."

"I need you to devote yourself to the Human Purge Plan as soon as possible." Ronan's family knows his own affairs. At this stage, he is not professional enough in film production in Hollywood mode: "Develop detailed shooting plans for Shahai Entertainment."

James Huang continued to nod.

Ronan's voice was slightly lowered: "There may be some things in this project that make people question. You just need to do a good job in directorship and don't ask about other aspects."
